The Mayor works full-time, managing the day-to-day operations of the City and providing leadership and policy direction to the City Council. The Mayor chairs all meetings of the City Council, voting only in the case of a tie. The six members of the City Council work part-time, holding budget and policy-setting authority for the city. The Mayor and City Council members are elected at large by popular vote. City Council members are elected to a specific Council seat, but the seats are not determined geographically. City elections are held in odd number years (e.g. 2007, 2009, 2011).

Boise, May 7, 2013 - Neighbors who have questions about dog parks and off-leash policies are invited to join city representatives at ten education sessions in May and June.

Representatives of Boise Parks & Recreation, Boise Police Department and the City Clerk’s Office will answer questions and distribute information in parks and preserves throughout the city.

“We know people enjoy their pets and love exercising them. For everyone’s enjoyment of our city parks, our goal is to help explain rules, why they exist and ask pet owners to help with compliance in our city parks and reserves,” said Boise Police Chief Michael Masterson.

“The dog off-leash areas and parks are intended to provide pet owners with accessible places to spend time with their dogs and get to know their neighbors,” said Doug Holloway, director of Boise Parks & Recreation. “We welcome the opportunity to hear feedback about our parks and policies.”
